Julia Payne

Julia has 20 years+ experience in music and the wider cultural sector, initially earning her stripes at venues including London's Barbican Centre. In 2002 she co-founded the hub, a music 'think and do tank' that subsidises its own creative projects via consultancy and training, and heads up its Joining the Dots programme that's testing potentially 'game-changing' business models in independent music. She's helped 100+ creative entrepreneurs and organisations across the UK develop plans/strategies that work for them as well as investors/funders, and finds working with people interested 'good growth' particularly inspiring.
